The tournament served as a supplementary qualifier for the 3rd Taolu World Cup 2024 and the 10th Sanda World Cup 2024 event. It addressed the concerns of many Indian players who were unable to participate in the 16th World Wushu Championships primarily due to visa issues.
Among the medal winners, Roshibina Devi, who had already qualified for the World Cup via her World Championships silver medal performance, was a notable participant. In addition to the two golds, India also secured two silver and three bronze medals from this event.
